RADIATOR IN'GLOSURE.

Application filed October 4, 1924. Serial No. 741,680.

To all 1072 am it may concern: Y

"Be it known t-hat'I, MAX JnRsnuANN, a citizen of the United States,residin at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and tate of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Radiator Inclosures, ofwhich the following is a specification.

My invention relates to radiator inclosures, and the object of myinvention is to produce a radiator inclosure which is inexpensive,easily put in place and can be matched to the furnishings of a room.

The radiator inclosure, according to my invention, is provided at thetop with a water-basin being so placed that the heated air is compelledto pass over the surface of the water thus becoming moistened.

Furthermore, I provide the top of my radiator inclosure with means fortrapping the dust particles suspended in the upwardly rising hot aircurrents.

Finally, the back of the radiator inclosure is made of a piece of sheetmetal adapted to reflect the heat into the room.

In the drawing in which'I have shown, by way of illustration, oneembodiment of a, radiator inclosure made in accordance with myinvention, Fig. 1 is a to view'of the same, Fig. 2 a front view, wit aportion of the front wall broken away to-show the radiator, and 'one ofthe side-walls shown in section; Fig. 3 is a side view, Fig. 4 acrosssection along line 4-4 in Fig. 2 Fig 5 a. top view with the coverremoved and ig. 6 an underside view of the cover.

' The radiator inclosure consists in a casing open at the back,preferably of rectangular shape, and of a size to entirely surround theradiator to be inclosed. The casing comrises a front-section 1 and twoside-sections 2, and is supported on feet 3,'which, if desired, may bemade in one piece with the front or side sections. The frontandsidesections are provided with openings, into which openings are placedills, a large grill 4 being shown 1n the rent-section 1 and smaller '11s5 being shown in the side sections 2. ,nstead of having a single largeopening, the front section may be, of course, divided so asto providefortwo or more openings of smaller size, into which grills are fitted.

The back of the casing is closed 1) a. wall 6 of sheet metal which isfastene to the side sections 2 onthe inside thereof, and

- which reflects the heat into the room through the grills in thefrontand side-sections of the casing.

In the top of the casing is provided an elongated shallowwater basin 7which is supported by straps 8, 9 fastened to the rear wall 6 and theinside of the front section 1, as clearly shown in Fig. 4. Thedimensions of the said basin are such, that open spaces are left allaround the basin for the currents of hot air to pass between the innerwalls of the casing and the basin. The top of the casing being closed,except for small grill openings hereinafter referred to, the hot airwill strike the surface of the water in the basin 7 and thereby becomemoistened ere it escapes into the room.

' The top of the casing is closed by a cover 10, in which are providedtwo op'enlngs adapted to receive grills 11 and 12. To the inside of thecover is secured a piece of sheet metal 13 in which openings areprovided cor responding to the grill 0 nings, as shown more clearly inFig. 6. he rear edge of that pieceoi sheet metal 13 is turned down atright angles forming the depending portion 14, which, as shown in F ig.4, fits closely over the rear sheet-metal wall 6 of the easing, whereasthe front edge of the piece of sheet metal is likewise tilrned down' atright an les, forminv a depending portion 15, which extends down intothe casing curved inwardl shown at 16 in ig. 4. Likewise, the upper edgeof the rear sheet metal wall 6 is curved inwardly toward the basin 7 asshown at 17 in Fig. 4, while the ed s of the piece of sheet-metal l3,surroun ing the grill-openings in the cover 10 are curled as shown moreclearly in Fi 6. These curled edges as well as the sai inwardly curveded s form traps for the dust particles sus 11 ed in the rising currentsof hot'air there y preventing those dust particles from escaping intothe room.

The casing being made of wood, or similar light inexpensive material,the sections 1, 2 composing the casin and the cover 10 are lined on theinside wit asbestos, or similar fire-proof material, as indicated at 18in Figs. 2, 4, 5 and 6.

claim as my invention:

and is. toward the basin 7, as i 1. In a. radiator inclosure, a casingof forming the baclgpf the said casing, a cover dust havin rill 'o nin sthe sa id casin gf' and a piece ofsheet-metal secured to the inside ofthe said cover and having a depending portion adapted to closely bearagainst the back of the said sheet-metal wall and provided with openhotair.

2. In a radiator inclosure, a casing of, wood, or the like, open at vprising a front section the bottom, coniand side sections having grillopenin forming the back 0 said casing, an open 'water basin arrangednear the top of the said so as to constantly expose the'entiro of thewater to the action of the ris casing surface for closing the top of.

openin a sheet-metal wall.

in heated air, means for supporting the said basin clear of the innerwalls of the a top for the said casing havin grill openings, and a pieceof sheet-meta astened to the inside of the said top and having openingscorresponding to the grill in said top, the said piece of sheetmetaleing formed'with a depending portion adapted tolie close against theback of the said sheet-metal wall and with another dependin portion atthe front extending toward t e said basin and having an inwardly curvededge.

3. The structure as set forth inclaim 2, in which the said'piece ofsheet-metal on the inside of the said top is formed with curled overedges surrounding the openings in said piece of sheet metal. I
